Yamabe and quasi-Yamabe solitons on Euclidean submanifolds (Q1756936)

The purpose of the paper under review is to study the Yamabe and quasi-Yamabe solitons on Euclidean submanifolds. A Riemannian manifold \((M,g)\) is called Yamabe soliton if it admits a vector field \(X\) satisfying \[ \frac{1}{2}\mathcal{L}_X g =(R-\lambda)g, \] where \(\mathcal{L}_X\) denotes the Lie derivative in the direction of the vector field \(X\) and \(\lambda\) is a real number. Moreover, the vector field \(X\) is called a soliton vector field for \((M,g)\). A Riemannian manifold \((M,g)\) is called quasi-Yamabe soliton if it admits a vector field \(X\) satisfying \[ \frac{1}{2}\mathcal{L}_X g =(R-\lambda)g +\mu X^{\#}\otimes X^{\#}, \] for some constant \(\lambda\) and some function \(\mu\), where \(X^{\#}\) is the dual \(1\)-form of \(X\). The vector field \(X\) is called a soliton vector field for \((M,g)\). The authors study the Yamabe and quasi-Yamabe solitons on Euclidean submanifolds whose soliton vector field is given by the tangential components of their position vector fields. They classify Yamabe and quasi-Yamabe solitons on Euclidean hypersurfaces whose potential fields are the tangential component of their position fields.
